BirdsDirectiveEurope is home to more than 500 wild bird species. But at least 32 % of the EU's bird species are currently not in a good conservation status. The Birds Directive aims to protect all of the 500 wild bird species naturally occurring in the European Union.http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:BirdsDirective5 December 2019 09:26:15
BirdsDirectiveAnnex1194 species and sub-species are particularly threatened. Member States must designate Special Protection Areas (SPAs) for their survival and all migratory bird species.http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:BirdsDirectiveAnnex15 December 2019 09:19:31
BirdsDirectiveAnnex282 bird species can be hunted. However, the hunting periods are limited and hunting is forbidden when birds are at their most vulnerable: during their return migration to nesting areas, reproduction and the raising of their chicks.http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:BirdsDirectiveAnnex25 December 2019 09:21:19
BirdsDirectiveAnnex3Overall, activities that directly threaten birds, such as their deliberate killing, capture or trade, or the destruction of their nests, are banned. With certain restrictions, Member States can allow some of these activities for 26 species listed here.http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:BirdsDirectiveAnnex35 December 2019 09:22:35
BirdsDirectiveAnnex4The directive provides for the sustainable management of hunting but Member States must outlaw all forms of non-selective and large scale killing of birds, especially the methods listed in this annex.http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:BirdsDirectiveAnnex45 December 2019 09:23:52
BirdsDirectiveAnnex5The directive promotes research to underpin the protection, management and use of all species of birds covered by the Directive, which are listed in this annex.http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:BirdsDirectiveAnnex55 December 2019 09:25:07

CITESCITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) is an international agreement between governments. Its aim is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. Appendices I, II and III to the Convention are lists of species afforded different levels or types of protection from over-exploitation.http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:CITES5 December 2019 09:08:40
CITESAppendixIAppendix I lists species that are the most endangered among CITES-listed animals and plants (see Article II, paragraph 1 of the Convention). They are threatened with extinction and CITES prohibits international trade in specimens of these species except when the purpose of the import is not commercial (see Article III), for instance for scientific research. In these exceptional cases, trade may take place provided it is authorized by the granting of both an import permit and an export permit (or re-export certificate). Article VII of the Convention provides for a number of exemptions to this general prohibition.http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:CITESAppendixI5 December 2019 08:08:16
CITESAppendixIIAppendix II lists species that are not necessarily now threatened with extinction but that may become so unless trade is closely controlled. It also includes so-called "look-alike species", i.e. species whose specimens in trade look like those of species listed for conservation reasons (see Article II, paragraph 2 of the Convention). International trade in specimens of Appendix-II species may be authorized by the granting of an export permit or re-export certificate. No import permit is necessary for these species under CITES (although a permit is needed in some countries that have taken stricter measures than CITES requires). Permits or certificates should only be granted if the relevant authorities are satisfied that certain conditions are met, above all that trade will not be detrimental to the survival of the species in the wild. (See Article IV of the Convention)http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:CITESAppendixII5 December 2019 08:09:31
CITESAppendixIIIAppendix III is a list of species included at the request of a Party that already regulates trade in the species and that needs the cooperation of other countries to prevent unsustainable or illegal exploitation (see Article II, paragraph 3, of the Convention). International trade in specimens of species listed in this Appendix is allowed only on presentation of the appropriate permits or certificates. (See Article V of the Convention)http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:CITESAppendixIII5 December 2019 08:10:32

CircalittoralThe subzone of the rocky sublittoral below that dominated by algae (the infralittoral), and dominated by animals. No lower limit is defined, but species composition changes below about 40m to 80m depth, depending on depth of the seasonal thermocline. This subzone can be subdivided into the upper circalittoral where foliose algae are present and the lower circalittoral where they are not (see Hiscock, 1985). The term is also used by Glémarec (1973) to refer to two étages of the sediment benthos below the infralittoral: a "coastal circalittoral category with a eurythermal environment of weak seasonal amplitude (less than 10°C) varying slowly" and a "circalittoral category of the open sea with a stenothermal environment" (Hiscock, 1996).http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:Circalittoral6 May 2015 14:31:55

DataDeficientA taxon is Data Deficient when there is inadequate information to make a direct, or indirect, assessment of its risk of extinction based on its distribution and/or population status. A taxon in this category may be well studied, and its biology well known, but appropriate data on abundance and/or distribution are lacking. Data Deficient is therefore not a category of threat. Listing of taxa in this category indicates that more information is required and acknowledges the possibility that future research will show that threatened classification is appropriate. It is important to make positive use of whatever data are available. In many cases great care should be exercised in choosing between DD and a threatened status. If the range of a taxon is suspected to be relatively circumscribed, and a considerable period of time has elapsed since the last record of the taxon, threatened status may well be justified.http://www.marinespecies.org/traits/wiki/Traits:DataDeficient4 December 2019 14:30:37
